About this Rolex Daytona

This Rolex Daytona, reference 16523, is a 40mm case in Steel and Yellow Gold used condition, featuring a Champagne Diamond dial, a Oyster bracelet, dated circa 1999. This piece is customized — aftermarket-modified (setting or dial added outside the manufacturer); not original factory condition. Priced dealer-direct and shipped fully insured.

The Rolex Daytona

Forty millimeters has been the Daytona standard since 1988's reference 16520, and current stock holds two generations. The 116-series ran caliber 4130 into roughly 2023; the 126-series picked up caliber 4131 that year, recognizable by a revised bracelet and skeletonized rotor. Metal choice sets the value spread, from accessible two-tone Rolesor to gold and gem-set ceilings. Verify documentation, then settle by wire to save against card.

About Rolex

Precision built the reputation; liquidity keeps it. Rolex, a Geneva manufacture dating to 1905 under Hans Wilsdorf, gave the trade waterproof cases, self-winding movements, and the date window. The Oyster, Perpetual, and Cyclops are recognized almost everywhere. These pieces work as a financial asset as much as a timepiece. Steel Submariners, GMT-Master IIs, and Daytonas trade above sticker, so paying by wire instead of card protects your spread. Browse all Rolex ›
